Description
NOMA GALLERY presents a conversation between artist/writer Maria Porges and artists Erica Wheelock and Nate Watson. Thursday, July 23rd at 7pm

In the words of artist/writer Michele Carlson: "Upon entering the gallery one is taken by the balance struck between Nathan Watson’s minimal white on white plaster drawings and sculpture and Erica Lee Wheelock’s frantic layered black on white ink drawings. Shades of Grey brings together the works of two artists who navigate their own personal landscapes in order to create new possibilities, suggest alternative visions and refigure common perception. They come from different directions: Wheelock creates landscapes that are fantastical suggestions of what could be and Watson isolates and abstracts symbols in the visual landscape to suggest new alternatives. Both artists meet in the middle and demonstrate that what one sees and where one is going has many shades, layers and versions."

This exhibition is curated Marcella Faustini.
